Phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe this place. I don't really eat a lot of meat very often and I love vegan food. Came here for lunch with my mum today after she insisted I would love it and EVERYTHING was above and beyond my expectations. Every single thing we had was just delicious and gluten free too!! My mum has celiac disease and it's so nice to find somewhere with incredible vegan food AND gluten free options in the same place. The potato terrine is just amazing and we had to get two! Phenomenal food, lovely service, and such a sweet little place with the most wonderful atmosphere. We sat on the balcony and it's just beautiful. Already planning what I'll try on my next visit.
Can't fault this place! The staff are amazing! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very warm and cozy! Took my daughter there for a birthday meal and they made us feel very welcome! Thank you guys! We will definitely visit again ❤️
Came across Shrub when trying to find a vegan friendly place in Chester. Absolutely amazing food and cocktails. Fun and original options for a vegan (or anyone) to enjoy and even the classics (like burgers and fries) were to just die for. Staff were lovely and attentive and we will definitely be back to try more things on the menu :)
It’s so amazing to go to a restaurant and have choice! Usually most menus offer 1/2 vegan options max but here everything is plant based. Absolutely delicious tapas food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come back!
I was taking a stroll through Chester centre and stumbled across the Shrub and was not disappointed.
It is pleasantly decorated and has a semi outdoor area that over looks the main shopping street and Chester's beautiful architecture with a roof overhead.
The cocktails were fantastic and even though I didn't eat, the food looked amazing.
Can't wait to go back there soon
Perfect as always
Shrub offer small plates of amazing vegan food that anybody would enjoy. The meatballs are my personal favourites I don't know what they do to them to make them taste that good, the tofu was also beautifully cooked with a texture I've never had before
The staff were friendly and the food arrived quickly, the bar can be very popular so if you're not there to drink I advise you arrive early
Landed here for lunch after checking Happy Cow for vegan restaurant as I was visiting Chester with family for my birthday.
What can I say. Lovely atmosphere, we sat outside overlooking the Rows, staff was bubbly and friendly and really appreciated that, it makes the difference sometimes to the experience. Food 10/10. We ordered focaccia, meatballs, pesto gnocchi, a kids portion of pasta, some fries, artichokes wings and desserts. Everything was delicious.
We are now planning to return to Chester and will be back 100%!

My husband took me here for my birthday and I had the most amazing time. This place serves the best vegan food I've had in years while eating out! The food was hands down incredible!!! My Sunday vegan roast took me back home to some really good Jamaican cooking. The food was well-seasoned and tasty and the presentation was on point. I would recommend this restaurant any day. The decor was quite beautiful, the aesthetics were lovely and the service was amazing, 10 stars for Shrub. Keep up the good work.
First time going and won’t be the last lovely place to eat and cocktails are yummy 😋 great selection of foods and drinks, staff very attentive, polite, professional and friendly, the atmosphere in here is really lovely and relaxed music not to loud so you can hear yourself talk and hear, great place would highly recommended.

Amazing food! Visiting Chester for a few days and found this fantastic restaurant on the first night. I had the Kimchi burger (the burger itself is a fried chicken style burger) and my husband had the house burger (a beefburger style burger). Both were incredibly tasty. We had miso fries on the side and artichoke wings.
For pudding we had the key lime pie and the apple dumplings - I did want the miso chocolate cheesecake but they were sadly out. The puddings were as flavoursome as the mains, a real treat.
I cannot fault the food at all, some of the best vegan food I've ever eaten!
I had a kiwi and jasmine mule to drink (the drinks menu is lacking in AF ciders and offers one AF beer) which was also lovely.
The toilets are a bit of a trek away up two flights of stairs, but they have baby changing facilities which are always good to see.
We sat indoors, very low light conditions but it made for a cosy atmosphere.
